Activities at Fairview House Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators create a weekly planner that consists of a variety of activities, which caters to all residents' needs as best as possible. The most popular activities are bingo, which we host twice a week, flower arranging and weekly visits from Vinnie our pet therapy dog. Residents also enjoy minibus trips in the nicer weather and we attend a concert every month. We are also involved in the Council Well-being Team, which keeps us up-to date with upcoming events within the community and provides interesting ideas for activities we can try in the home.
Throughout the year, we host various special events, including themed open days and summer and winter fetes that people in our local communities are welcome to join us for. We also have monthly church services with Rev. Ann from Danestone Congregational Church, which is open to loved ones as well.
Fairview House Activities Team
Chloe, Cecilia and Veronica make up our fantastic Activities Team here at Fairview House.
They develop and oversee an active living programme for each resident, which encourages mobility, social contact, independence and fun. Each and every person can thrive and live to their full potential with no day ever being the same. They bring great enthusiasm and spark to the home and have one passion, which is to deliver an amazing and vibrant activities programme to cater to all tastes and abilities.

Life at Fairview House Care Home
Taking the Salute
Resident, Sandy Cortman, is one of the original surviving paratroopers from the battle of Arnhem, World War II.
Sandy has been unrecognised until recently, when he received an invitation from the Duke of Wales and from the Parachute regiment to become a part of the 75th anniversary of the battle, as part of Armed Forces Day. Our star was transported in a WW2 jeep to the parade, before the show at Gordon Bks, where he was asked to "Take The Salute".
National Chocolate Day
We enjoyed celebrating National Chocolate Day on 5th July with some delicious chocolaty treats, of course.
Weekly Exercise
Residents always enjoy our weekly exercise classes with the physiotherapist. We hold these sessions every morning at 11:00 a.m.
Enjoying the Fine Weather
The weather has been amazing lately, so we've been making the most of it by spending as much time outside of the home. Ice creams are also a nice treat too!
National Cream Tea Day
Residents, staff and loved ones enjoyed celebrating National Cream Tea Day on 29th June. Everyone loved the fine pieces!
National Cupcake Day
Residents enjoyed making cupcakes in recognition of National Cupcake Day on 14th June. They enjoyed eating them even more, though!
